Location:
The distal portion of the coronary sinus commonly narrows to form the great cardiac vein. In most human hearts we have observed valves of Vieussen covering the ostium of the great cardiac vein.

Function:
This cardiac vein returns deoxygenated blood (metabolic waste products) from the anterior surfaces of the left ventricle.

Other Nomenclature:
The section of the great cardiac vein that courses anteriorly in between the left and right ventricle is also known as the anterior interventricular vein.

Localización:
La porción distal del seno coronario comúnmente se estrecha para formar la vena cardiaca magna. En la mayoría de los corazones humanos hemos observado válvulas de Vieussen que cubren el ostium de la gran vena cardíaca.

Función:
Esta vena cardíaca devuelve sangre desoxigenada (productos de desecho metabólico) de las superficies anteriores del ventrículo izquierdo.

Otra nomenclatura:
La porción de la gran vena cardíaca que discurre anteriormente entre el ventrículo izquierdo y el derecho también se conoce como vena interventricular anterior.
